A medical helicopter is on its way to the Hamblen Township Volunteer Fire Station to take a victim of an earlier car accident to the hospital.

Emergency radio traffic said the man, in his mid-30s, was involved in a crash about three hours ago. He had possible head, leg and shoulder injuries, but refused treatment at the time and said he would go to the hospital on his own power. While in his home, he passed out, prompting the recent call for help.
